Death Of oen.wllllam myers, u.s.A.

Gen. William Myers, deputy quarter.
master general, died at New York city on
the 11th inst. He had been suffering from
inflammatory rheumatism for number OF
years, and this, it is thought, was the i'm
mediate cause of his death. Gen. Myers
was born in Reading Pa. He graduated
from the military academy in 1852. Ho
was first lieutenant OF the Ninth in.
fantry ut the breaking out Of tho
Rebellion and captain and assistant
quartermaster in 1861. In the same year
lie was assigned to duty at St. Louis as
assistant to Gen. Robert Allen, and was
subsequently appointed chief qunrtermas.
ter OF the department OF the Missouri at
st. Louis, position he held until 1866,
when he was assigned to duty Mt Omaha,
Neb., where he was chief quartermaster OF
the department OF the Platte until 1870.
when he MAS ordered to Washington city
as depot qnartermaster there. In 1876
master OF the division OF the Pa.
ciHc and department of California.
He was ordered to Chicago in 1879,
and after three years tour there as depot
qunrtermaster he was assigned 10 duty as
chief quartermaster OF the department OF
Dakota. with headquarters Mt Fort Shell
ing. Mimi, when Gen. Terry was in COM
mand. He was placed upon the retired ii1t
in 1888, at his own iequeAt, and alter
thirty years service. Gen. Myers services
during the war gained for him the brevet vi
brisadier general. His money and prop.
erty accountability during that time was
perhaps greater than that OF any other
office Of the quartermasters' department.,
having disburscd over 5000, 100000 from

fidenre that he would act justly and in IA
spirit OF conciliatiou. MIR. Chamberlain in
his response said:
Though am farther away from England
than have ever been before, still am Mt

the same ambitions, and am still more
greatly impressed with the unison OF the
aims OF the two great nations which yon
and represent. bring with me the uni
versal sympathy OF every Englshmun
whose opinion is worth consulting and ]
am sure that nothing will be permitted to
in,eril the good relations that have exist.
ed between Great Britain and the United
States. During the last twenty years has
grown that confidence between us without
which true friendship cannot exist. | as
sure you that the settlement which
will strive to gain will accrue to the benefit
OF either party-in fact, / shall not at.
tempt any settlement that is not admirn.
bly, fair. At all events you will not under
estimate what such an honest settlement
will mean. The bloodiest wars of which
history contains the record have sprung
from like trivial causes. The question OF
trade will weigh heavily upon any discus
sion between yourcountry and mine. Fully
one sixth of all the exports OF England are
to your country, and fully one.hnlf OF your
exports come to us. No. gentlemen, we
cannot afford the luxury of a quarrel. Mr..
Chamberlain expressed his nmazement at
the struggle for wealth. but thought that
the country's safeguard was the reverence
for law among the people. In his own
country he was called n radical. He nd
mitted it. The people should make enforce
and obey the laws.
